Photoshop 2017 on Mac: Notable Issues and Bugs Under macOS Sierra

As I transitioned from El Capitan to macOS Sierra, I noticed a few differences that affected my workflow in Adobe Photoshop 2017. In this collective thread, I'll summarize the issues I encountered and provide updates as more users share their experiences.

Dialogue Box Positioning

When moving a dialogue box to a secondary monitor and then repeating an action, the second time around, the dialogue box will appear at the edge of the primary monitor instead of remembering its position on the secondary monitor. This behavior is consistent with other applications that don't retain dialog box positions across multiple monitors.

Slow Screen Mode Transitions

Switching between Standard screen mode and Full Screen with Menus (F key) can be slow, sometimes resulting in delayed or non-registered keyboard strokes. Additionally, when zooming using the cmd + space keystroke, the experience is slow and jagged.

Command-Driven Zoom Issues

When using cmd +, cmd -, or other command-driven zoom functions, there may be a slight delay before the first key stroke is registered. This 'warm-up' period can take milliseconds to register, whereas subsequent commands are executed instantly as expected.

Hardware and Software Setup

I'm working on a daily basis with Photoshop 2017 (64-bit) on a running macOS Sierra (10.12.6). While this is not a clean install, I've noticed these differences after upgrading from El Capitan to Sierra.

High Sierra and Future Updates

With High Sierra around the corner, it's essential for professionals like ourselves to be aware of any potential bugs or issues before making the transition. I'd like to encourage others who are considering an upgrade to share their experiences and observations in this thread.

This collective thread aims to provide a central location for users to report and discuss noticeable issues and bugs under macOS Sierra, specifically with Adobe Photoshop 2017. By sharing our experiences, we can better understand the challenges and limitations of working on this new operating system and potentially find workarounds or solutions together.
